  • Publication number: 20220012612
    Abstract: A system includes a learning object storing section that stores objects to be learned, a learning result storing section that stores learning results, and a control section connected to an input section. The control section computes a principal component coefficient vector of a first feature vector of an object to be processed that is designated by the input section, computes a principal component coefficient vector of a second feature vector using a principal component basis vector stored in the learning result storing section, and computes the second feature vector of the object to be processed using the principal component coefficient vector of the second feature vector.

  • Patent number: 10272922
    Abstract: A driving support device includes a cross direction control device and a cross direction alarm device which are a first support unit that performs drive support of steering of a vehicle, a traveling direction control device and a traveling direction alarm device which are a second support unit that performs drive support of deceleration of the vehicle, and a running support processing device that controls the first support unit and the second support unit. The running support processing device detects looking-aside of a driver, detects a non-drive manual operation of the driver, and sets a level of an effect of detection of the non-drive manual operation to an effect of detection of the looking-aside in the first support unit to be greater than a level of an effect of detection of the non-drive manual operation to an effect of detection of the looking-aside in the second support unit.

  • Patent number: 8200396
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided to control a lighting angle of headlights installed in a vehicle. In the apparatus, a curve of the road is calculated and the radius of the curve is obtained, based on the current position and the road information. The curve is located ahead of the vehicle. A distance from the current position to a starting point of the curve is calculated based on the current position and the road information. Determination is made as to whether or not the curve is an S-shaped curve based on the road information, and line-shape information showing a line shape of the S-curve is set in response to the determination results of the curve. A lighting angle of the headlights is calculated based on the radius of the curve, the distance and the line-shape information, and the lighting angle of the headlights is controlled based on the calculated lighting angle.

  • Patent number: 6813971
    Abstract: An injection-molded plastic gear 1 as a molded gear includes a plurality of teeth 12 formed around an outer periphery of a rim, and a plurality of blades 8 formed at distances circumferentially on an inner peripheral surface of the rim 11 to produce an axial flow of air. A radially inner portion is formed on the side of inner peripheries of the blades 8 to support the rim 11 through the blades 8. When such injection-molded plastic gear 1 is rotated, the blades 8 produce an axial flow of air passed through holes 10 from the surface side to the back side. The flow of air can be blown to a part such as an IC, a motor and the like disposed adjacent the molded gear to cool it, and the heat of the teeth 12 and the rim 11 can be taken away by a heat transfer, whereby the teeth 12 and the rim 11 can be cooled. Thus, the injection-molded plastic gear 1 has a function as a cooling fan, whereby a forcible convection (flow of air) can be produced in a gear-accommodated space.
